Even according to the gemaras answer, wont the bucket still be tamei because of the mei para that's in it? Isn't the mei parah metamei?

The Kollel replies:
Dear AB,
The Shitah Mekubetzes (on the Daf, DH b'Dli) explains as follows: The Mei Chatas is in the Dli before the ash is added, so it's not Tamei yet.
But it is considered special water that needs Bitul.
All the best,
